I am not so happy with this release because there's a critical bug which I had to work around for now
and because i just realized the macro speed/delay functionality is completely broken

for now PLEASE enable low latency mode in Settings > Audio - the fix for that macro thing is coming soon

thanks everyone for contributing

macOS users: if you're on a fairly recent version of macOS, you may get an "app is damaged" error when opening Furnace.
in this case, open Terminal and type the following:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Furnace.app

(replace /path/to/ with the path where Furnace.app is located)

you may need to reboot after doing this.

it is not my fault that Apple has decided to enforce application signing in a cruel way!
